Zach Bryan deletes Twitter/X account after backlash to Taylor Swift tweet

nme.com:

Zach Bryan has deactivated his Twitter/X account, following widespread backlash to a tweet he shared about Taylor Swift.The country music star first deactivated his account last week, when he started a conversation by sharing an update reading: “Anyone willing to put politics above music don’t get the point of listening to music.”Soon afterwards, he returned to the social media platform, and stirred the pot once more – this time taking aim at Taylor Swift.Sharing a tweet on Tuesday (September 17), the singer-songwriter wrote: “Eagles > Chiefs” and “Kanye > Taylor,” before finishing off the update with: “Who’s with me?”It seems likely that the first part of the tweet is a jab at Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays as the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kanye West mention is a nod to the long-running tension between the pop star and the controversial rapper.Unsurprisingly, the post was quick to spark backlash from countless Swifties on the app, with many users responding to the update with remarks like “Literally anyone else > Zach Bryan.”Literally anyone else > Zach Bryan.
